School News and Information

Happy Friday! I hope you have had a great week!

Only a few new announcements this week.

We have made it to May! The grade levels continue to collaborate, plan and share lessons. Please continue to communicate with the Marshall staff. Thank you for your commitment and engagement during this time. Just a reminder that Tuesday is a scheduled PD day for staff so no school assignments will be made for this day. Enjoy the weekend! Be safe, stay healthy and wash your hands!

Tootles - I want to give you the opportunity to acknowledge how your child is being a PAX Leader at home. Complete this form and let me know the positive things they have done while at home - this a great way to encourage the behaviors you want to see more of at home. You will then receive an electronic tootle form in your email congratulating your child. Tootle Form

Morning announcements will continue. If your child would like to be featured saying the Pledge of Allegiance and/or the PAX Leader Pledge, please send it to me at hintonc@talawanda.org. At this point I have used all of them that I received and have started to reuse previous ones until I receive more. As a reminder the link for morning announcements will be posted on the students Abre announcement screen, our Marshall Facebook page, and Marshall Twitter account.

Kindergarten Registration

We started collecting information about Kindergarten for next year before the school closings. If we have not taken your information yet and you have a child who will turn 5 before August 1, please complete this form and we will email you further directions for registering your child for kindergarten.

From the Transportation Department

This is a reminder that a new Transportation Request Form for each school year. The form can be downloaded from the Talawanda Website for each child so that we can make sure that we have the most current contact information. Please remember that babysitting arrangements need to be filled out on the Transportation Form as well because it doesn’t always carry over from year to year. Thanks for thinking ahead to next year.

Technology Update and Reminders

If your child is having issues with their iPad or ChromeBook, please let your child’s teacher know. We are working on swapping out the technology for working devices as soon as possible.
